README
1This port contains infrastructure and examples for running lwIP on Unix-like
2operating systems (Linux, OpenBSD, cygwin). Much of this is targeted towards
3testing lwIP applications.
4
5* port/sys_arch.c, port/perf.c, port/include/arch/: Generic platform porting,
6 for both states of NO_SYS. (Mapping debugging to printf, providing
7 sys_now & co from the system time etc.)
8
9* check: Runs the unit tests shipped with main lwIP on the Unix port.
10
11* port/netif, port/include/netif: Various network interface implementations and
12 their helpers, some explicitly for Unix infrastructure, some generic (but most
13 useful on an easy to debug system):
14
15 * fifo: Helper for sio
16
17 * list: Helper for unixif
18
19 * pcapif: Network interface that replays packages from a PCAP dump file, and
20 discards packages sent out from it
21
22 * sio: Mapping Unix character devices to lwIP's sio mechanisms
23
24 * tapif: Network interface that is mapped to a tap interface (Unix user
25 space layer 2 network device). Uses lwIP threads.
